Interesting, This appears to be texture re-projection. The novel bit is accounting for the elasticity of the PVA film. For those of you who aren't in 3d/VFX:

Interesting, This appears to be texture re-projection. The novel bit is accounting for the elasticity of the PVA film. For those of you who aren't in 3d/VFX: UV mapping is essentially this process. Most 3d models you'll see, the colour you see started out as a 2d image http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.4/Manual/Textures/Mapping/UV/Unwrapping http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.4/Manual/Textures/Ma... has a good example of how texture are extracted from a 3d model.
